many thanks to all the posters who gave me helpful advice
I opted to drive and park at the Westfield Mall, what a place that is, We are used to fairly big Malls ( from the US ) but that place was very nice, nice food place, indigo, Indian street food
The Dosa was very good
The copperbox arena was great, good view from every seat by the looks of it, Team Bath netball team won the 3 place play-off after being down by 5 and trailing till the start of the 4th 1/4
a touch concerning when the Sat nav wants to take you off the route you are taking, but i stuck with the route Leytonstoneblue said and it worked well
